Theresa and her team provided exceptional support throughout my case. During difficult moments when I felt discouraged, she remained consistently available, offering reassurance and guidance. In my opinion, she is one of the best attorneys in Reno.

I am deeply grateful for the outstanding service I received from Ristenpart Law and her exceptional team. From our initial consultation, I felt heard, respected, and supported by professionals who genuinely cared about my future. After contacting multiple practices that treated my case uniformly and offered no alternative solutions, I found that Ristenpart Law approached my situation differently. The team demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of criminal law and DUI matters, developing a clear and practical strategy tailored to my circumstances. Their preparation was thorough, as they analyzed every detail to anticipate potential challenges. They addressed my situation with empathy and urgency, consistently returning calls and emails, and took the time to explain complex legal concepts in accessible terms, enabling me to make informed decisions. I received timely updates on every development, with transparent explanations of available options and potential outcomes. I always understood the status of my case and what to expect next. Although my case is ongoing, I believe Theresa and her team deserve recognition for their dedication to achieving the best possible outcome through strategic negotiations, motions, and hearings. Facing criminal charges can be overwhelming, particularly for someone encountering the legal system for the first time. With Ristenpart Law by my side, I navigated the process with confidence and peace of mind. Their flexible payment plans also eased the process and alleviated some of the financial stress. Additionally, Theresa and her team demonstrated exceptional integrity and attentiveness. They not only managed my case with expertise and compassionate advocacy but also identified an overpayment on my account that I had not noticed. They promptly notified me and issued a refund, highlighting their professionalism and genuine concern for my well-being beyond the legal matter itself. I would recommend Ristenpart Law without hesitation. For anyone facing criminal charges or a DUI and seeking a trusted, compassionate, and highly capable defense team, Ristenpart Law stands out. They combine legal expertise, integrity, and a client-centered approach, making a meaningful difference during challenging times.

I wasn't sure what attorney I should go with, I had consultations with a few different high profile attorneys but after talking with Theresa over the phone for our initial consultation I knew she was the one! She asked all the right questions and was very knowledgeable. We just wrapped up my case and I am so happy I went with her! Theresa and her team did an excellent job! They were very good with communicating, very professional and she knows her stuff! I highly recommend Theresa Ristenpart!! Thank you for everything!

Theresa and her staff were nothing short of amazing! She was honest and dedicated. I had a lot of down time in my case so I was ancy! Her team were always polite and respectful. Finally when we beat it Theresa and her team went out of their way to bring my son and I things like blankets, towels, dishes, etc..... knowing that I had lost everything while incarcerated. The best part was she even came to deliver them to us!!!! Thank you so much Theresa and her team!

Theresa is the real deal! We were looking for an attorney and when she called us back immediately with all the answers, we knew we found our person. Not only is she extremely professional but down to earth and understanding. She not only met our expectations but exceeded them! Theresa is truly in her element. Wish there were an option for a 6th star. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I hired Theresa to represent me in 11/21. My wife and I paid her $10k up front with arrangements to pay off the rest at $1k per month until the entire retainer of $20k was paid. We diligently paid her $1k per month for the next 7 months. Trial was set for 09/23. My wife lost her job in 2022. We were on assistance with the state pay our rent, power, water & food. During all of this we fell behind on our payments to Theresa. My wife emailed Theresa & told her she had lost her job, & that we would catch back up with her as soon as we could. In 07/23, I was arrested again, for something that was not even in my possession. My co-defendant & I were both arrested on the same charges. Even though my co-defendant is taking responsibility, I sat in jail because my bail on the first case was revoked & set at $100k cash only. My wife began asking Theresa to request a new bail hearing. A couple of days after I was arrested in 07/23, Theresa came to visit me to tell me that we better pay her some money or else she will be resigning from the case. She said we owed $3k for the retainer & $7.4k for trial. My wife paid her $4.1k within 2 days, which paid off the retainer & put some money towards trial. My wife also sent her flowers, as well as sent emails & left voicemails, to which she got no response. My wife continued to ask her several times if she could request a new bail hearing for me but never received any response. So, after I had paid her $21,090 I still sat in jail. I lost my job, my car & wife struggled with our 3 kids. My wife had another $2.1k to pay her but she couldn't access it because there was a hold on it at her bank. When the funds were available, her bank would only let her send $700. My wife contacted Theresa a couple of times that week to let her know that she would be by with the $2.1k, but she never made it due to car problems & being on thin ice at work due to all of the stress from all of this. My wife sent her the $700 one morning & after TR came to the jail, throwing a motion to withdraw in my face, basically threatening that if I don't sign it will look bad to the judgr. I pleaded with her not to do that, telling her I needed her, trial is 2 months away. She told me that if paid her $10k by 5pm she wouldn't file the motion until Monday. She also then said that since the habitual was filed trial fees increased from $7.5k to $10k, something we never discussed or that I ever signed for. The habitual was filed in 11/2022 & TR emailed us a copy of the court docs at that time, with no mention of fees increasing. My wife left work to collect whatever money she could before 5. She spoke to Naomi at TRs office. They only had record of $3.6k in pmts,. not $4090, said we still owed another $8.7k. My wife requested a statement showing where our money was going. Naomi hung up on my wife. Theresa ending up resigning from my case because my wife was "rude" to her front desk staff. I am her client, NOT MY WIFE. Imagine my wife's stress and fear. Now the attorney that we trusted with my life, ABANDONS US WHEN WE NEEDED HER THE MOST. Unethical. My wife left Theresa an honest review. Apparently., Ms. Ristenpart did not like it because she emailed me at 2:15am, telling me that she has been trying to get court appointed to my first case & she hopes my wife’s negative review doesn’t hurt our relationship & that she is hopeful that I can get my wife to remove the "negative & hurtful review.” SHE FIRED ME BECAUSE OF MY WIFE. She is trying to bury my wife’s review at the bottom w/ all these new reviews, & now 2 years since she last responded to a google review, she starts replying to comments to disprove my wife’s comments about her. My response to TR: I told her no. I don’t trust her, how could I now? She knows that we are a working class family. She knows that my wife is alone with 3 kids. Did she care? Absolutely not. She knows my fate is in her hands and she knows that she could help me. But instead she took our $20,000, withdrew and then sent us another invoice saying that we owe her another $19,000. Right.

As a student who is looking to go into law, I reached out to Theresa to help me get more real world experience. She was more than helpful and super gracious with me. I would highly recommend going to Theresa for legal issues or just overall advice.

Theresa was there for my family at all every turn and worked endlessly to ensure the best outcome for my case. I truly don't believe my life would be the same if it weren't for the Ristenpart Law team.

Theresa is one of the best, most empathetic lawyers in Reno. She tirelessly works to provide her client with the best legal outcome. Her office staff is welcoming and helpful, especially Ali the office dog. Highly recommend her tenacious and compassionate office for any legal challenges.

Response from owner

Thank you for the kind review. We often find the best defenses in the details which is why we review cases and the alleged evidence repeatedly.
